However after paying, one of us checked the receipt and the full Visa card number and expiry date were printed on the receipt! This seemed sketchy as every other receipt always had the first numbers starred out. In calling the bank they agreed this was fishy and cancelled the card as a precaution. Just something to watch out for when shopping!

Present also offers a nice range of mugs and glassware. I also saw this little gnome where you record a message and the gnome says it. It was 6.99. I had a good chat with the staff here about which bath bomb to buy and I ended up making the tough decision to buy a chocolate smelling striped one. The salesgirl helped me put in the plastic bag and tied it with a ribbon. This is a great gift shop. I can't wait to use my cocoa bomb!

Packed with every conceivable sort of writing instrument, even pens that can work in space, don't be surprised to see something by all the top names: Cartier, Mont Blanc, Parker, Sheaffer and Waterman to name but a few. You have the option to have your purchase neatly displayed in a clear-windowed gift box, wrapped up and ready to go. Or perhaps you've been meaning to write a book for ages and the creative urge hits you as you take a seat in the nearby airport lounge.
